Reduced frights on or off?
Reduced frights on or off?
I think this is my favorite game ever, but I still haven't played the DLC yet (I swear I'll get around to it someday).
I'm not sure about the reduced frights setting. Are there jumpscares? And does it eliminate them or give more warning? I'm a complete coward when it comes to jumpscares 😭
You're viewing a single thread.
the dlc is incredible!! there are jumpscares, and if i'm correct reduced frights reduces some elements of the scare itself without fully eliminating the jumpscare. additionally, reduced frights changes a specific game mechanic that can allow you to complete the dlc without ever getting jumpscared if you're good. personally, I found that reduced frights felt more like the base game, and Echoes of the Eye relies far more on scary vibes and ambience than jumpscares, so you're not missing much if you use reduced frights.
even if you're not one for horror games i very much recommend playing the dlc. it's got hours worth of gameplay, some really out-of-the-box puzzles (even in comparison to the base game), and ties in to the overall storyline at the end – really i consider it to be an indispensable part of the game. just like the base game, i'm really jealous of anyone that has yet to play it.
Well now I'm very excited to play! I think for my first playthrough of the DLC I will have reduced frights, but the second time I'll try with the frights (then the third and the fourth and the fifth playthroughs LMAO). I wish I could go back to playing the base game for the first time again, it was such a good experience.
Multiple playthroughs? Did we play the same game?
Yeah! Someday I wanna get all the achievements, and there's probably some small things I missed when I played the first time
